Stephanie Clifford, the adult film actress better known as Stormy Daniels, had a rather short and sweet reaction to the news that Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, had pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts––five charges of felony tax evasion, two counts of campaign finance violations, and one count of bank fraud––in a deal struck with federal prosecutors.

The news that Cohen had implicated the president in a scheme to unlawfully silence two women, including Clifford, without whose very public efforts Cohen would likely never have been charged, sent shock waves around the world.

It was the moment of vindication Clifford had been waiting for, having suffered through months of having her character impugned and her story discredited, and her glee––and undoubtful relief––was infectious.

Stormy, by hiring @MichaelAvenatti you just may have saved the United States of America. The way I see it, you are a hero. Thank you!

I absolute adore you. Your fierce bravery in pushing back on the muthafuckah-in-chief has been a highlight of my life. He has gotten away with so much for so long. It’s time for him to crash & burn after using & abusing people for decades. #TeamStormy#GirlPower#FuckTrumppic.twitter.com/fqdyh8NPg1

You're a smart woman,#StormyDaniels. Thank you for standing up to the lies and the liars. History-and your daughter-will remember you demanded that others respect you, no matter the size of their bank accounts, their fame or their job title. 👏🏻👏🏻🌻

We LOVE you!! We all owe you a HUGE anount of gratitude for your courage l& inspiration. You weren’t afraid to speak up & go after Cohen & Trump! Today wouldn’t have happened without you! Thank YOU!! You ROCK!! Xoxo 🎉💙💕🎉🌪🌪💙🎉🌪🌪🎉✌🏼😘

President Trump has responded to the news by leveling attacks against Cohen, whom he has for months characterized as disloyal. In two separate tweets, he tore into Cohen while praising Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager who on Tuesday was convicted of eight criminal counts by a grand jury in Virginia.

If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!

I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

There was no mention from the president of Cohen’s admission that he violated campaign finance laws to pay off Clifford and former Playboy model Karen McDougal at Trump’s behest.

Cohen had found himself at the center of the questions regarding a payment Clifford received from him as part of the non-disclosure agreement to keep her from discussing a sexual encounter with Trump back in 2006, while he was married to his current wife, Melania, and just a few months after Melania gave birth to their son, Barron.

A separate lawsuit filed by Clifford contends that Cohen initiated a “bogus arbitration” hearing against her without notifying her beforehand, and a copy of the restraining order against Clifford confirms that the judge made a “one-party” ruling that did not require her to be notified.
